If you’ve been looking for a way to carry all of your old NES games around without having to lug around the entire NES console this project will probably flip your lid.
A clever modder built an NES emulator and a display inside of an old NES cartridge. But that’s not all. Aside from NES, this cartridge is also capable of playing Game Boy games, Game Boy Color games and MP3s.
Please excuse me if I’m gushing, but when a geeky collectible becomes mixed with another tech medium, this is time for me to praise the heavens for blessing us with all this cool shit to talk about. The Pez MP3 player has a 512 MB capacity, which is nothing to really jump for joy about, but hey, it’s a fricken Pez MP3 player!
Sadly, the first edition of the player made, which of there were only 1500 produced, have sold out at their price of $99. You bet your ass we’re going to be scouting eBay to get our hands on one of these. The player also comes pre-packed with a collection of Indie bands music, and we’re not talking The Arcade Fire. We’re talking real independant bands. Also cool is that, unlike the iPod, it plays MP3s and WMA/WMA-DRM files, but not Apple’s m4p. Bummer. — Andrew Dobrow
